Snowdrops

Snowdrops

My urge to film kicked in when I visited Kess Crystals Snowdrops destination last night. So I may be back over the weekend when I have more time to do a destination video. I’ve been letting my filming take a giant back seat due to a lot of things but mainly the reality of my [...]

Snow please?

Snow please?

I really want snow. The proper kind. The fairy light, crunchy underfoot, cancel transport, chaos kind. But in reality, it always misses me. Everyone else gets a blizzard, I get aggressive drizzle. So in Second Life? It’s snowing. Constantly. Perfect flakes. No slush. No disappointment. If I can’t have winter magic in real life, I’ll [...]

My cuddle friend

My cuddle friend

I’ve been unwell since Boxing Day, which is apparently long enough for everyone to assume I’m fine now. I’m not. Returned to work today anyway. Was I well? No. Was I upright and vaguely conscious? Yes. I answered emails, stared at screens, and quietly wondered why I didn’t have a soft toy for emotional support. [...]

Dreaming

Dreaming

I often catch myself daydreaming about the perfect space at home, the kind of place that instantly makes you exhale the moment you walk in. A space that feels calm, a little indulgent, and entirely yours. It’s not always about bigger rooms or new furniture, but about the details that quietly transform how a room [...]

All set but the oven

All set but the oven

The table stands in quiet cheer Christmas Day is almost here. Plates are set, how they shine, Everything’s ready well, in line. Cutlery straight, a festive sight, Waiting patiently for the night. Candles glow, the room looks right, A picture dressed in Christmas light. All is done, no more delay… Except the food to cook [...]

Colour can change your mood

Colour can change your mood

Isn’t it amazing how a room can feel completely different just by changing a colour? You don’t need to move furniture, redecorate, or spend a fortune. Sometimes all it takes is shifting a light shade accent, one wall, or in my case, one tap on a colour HUD. Colour sets the mood of a space [...]

Baby it’s cold outside…

Baby it’s cold outside…

But not cold enough for what I really want which is SNOW. Proper, fluffy, storybook snow that falls gracefully from the sky like it has one mission in life to make everything look magical and me happy.. Right now, the weather is giving “permanently chilly inconvenience” instead of “winter wonderland.” It’s cold enough to make [...]

The dream kitchen v reality

The dream kitchen v reality

In my universe the one where my Second Life avatar lives her best, perfectly curated digital existence, my kitchen is a masterpiece. No clutter. No gadgets. No stack of post that’s been “temporarily” living on the counter for three weeks. Just sleek lines, spotless worktops, and me floating through it like a minimalist domestic goddess. [...]

Too Tired for Second Life… and That’s Saying Something

Too Tired for Second Life… and That’s Saying Something

This weekend I discovered a new level of exhaustion, the kind where even logging into Second Life feels like the impossible. I stared at my SL icon like, “Not today, demon.” Meanwhile real life was behind me waving a to do list. The hoover was judging me from across the room. The washing and ironing [...]
